laminating DOW styrofoam to aluminum and wood

Hi
I have literally torn the walls and roof off of my MH.
I will be replacing the walls and roof with new styrofoam, aluminum, and wood paneling.

What adhesive is used to consider temperature tolerances?
Has anyone ever done this?
Thanks
Class C

    I bought a Jamboree with a totally rotted out cabover (whoops!) and had to do a complete rebuild. One of the hardest things to find out was what kind of adhesive to use for bonding styrofoam to wood (lauan) and the outer FRP skin to wood. After much research I discovered that the right thing to use is 3M Fastbond 10 Contact Adhesive. That stuff aint cheap, but it bonds something FIERCE! Buy a mini foam roller kit from home depot and follow application instructions.
